I wonder sometimes why even after having three books published, getting my small but still legitimate royalty cheques in the mail, doing book tours and signings by request of such Companies as Chapters and Coles, seeing my work published in magazines and periodicals and winning awards from my peers...I still hesitate and find it hard to introduce myself and say I am a writer. Perhaps it is my lack of formal education and training. Maybe it goes back to lack of support when I first started out. Maybe I just have a low self confidence level, whatever, this write is a stab at reinforcing my own inner self that I truly am what I want to be...a writer.

Felix the Writer

By: Fee

 

I am a writer…

My words are my tools

Imagination is my partner

Sometimes I make my own rules

 

A life story of a father

Pornography that steams

Love letters in a novel

Nightmares vivid screams

Rhyming without reason

Leaving plots hanging

Holiday wishes expressed

Pots and pans a banging

Could it really happen?

Read and you decide

Is that a hero or a villain

In that stallion tall they ride

Speak out for social changes

Condemn the moral wrong

Write with my heart and soul

Try to stand up tall and strong

See deadlines come and go

Smile as new ideas blossom fast

Mind is picking catchy titles

As my characters are cast

 

I am a writer…

But Oprah doesn’t know my name

Ah, but if just one person reads me

Then I’m still in the game…

Fee,
I know this hesitation well. You are accomplished and deservingly so. This poem is a great reminder of why you should continue to write. What defines a writer is the way he/she feels about writing. Could you live without it? I know I couldn't. It's a passion and a way of life. Keep living your passion~

Wonderful, Felix! I, too, lack formal training and education, and find that this is a cause to hesitate, but the responses, the joy, the love you get from others because of the Gifts you give in prose, is a witness to the fact that you, dear friend, are indeed a fine, eloquent Writer! You have no idea how many you inspire (myself included!) Please never doubt that you are a gifted, talented WRITER!!

If you need confidence from others to know that you are a writer, then you are not a writer, because confidence to put even one word on paper, has to come from deep inside.

WE are the story masters; WE are the entertainers of the word; WE are the muses of society; WE are the thinkers, the shakers, and the doers. If we cannot think, shake, or do what we set out to do on paper, our keyboard, and even in our mind, then we have no business even writing a letter to a friend or loved one.

But my dearest Felix, you are a writer. You are a writer of great wisdom, and funny anecdotes. Never for a nanosecond even think that you are anything but a writer. Of course you are a person first, but you definitely ARE a writer. WRITE ON!!!!!

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

ABSOBLOODYLUTELY, Darlin... You speak for one and all, I'm sure. Perhaps we ALL ought to try this exercise. You've wrought it well, too, and have certainly captured some of the great things we know you for.. and respect you as. I think we all suffer this, Felix. Calling ourselves "writer" somehow sounds perhaps pretentious, cos it necessarily attracts to itself in people's minds the unspoken descriptor that goes with it: i.e. "famous". But such is not always the case. I learnt early on in my MA studies that to feel yourself to be a writer is like describing yourself as how you know yourself to be... as natural as Canadian, English or whatever. i.e. It is what we feel we are by nature, and not be learning or profession. Even if what we wrote was locked away in an attic for a million years, never seeing the light of day or crossing another person's sight, "Writer" is still what we'd be. Felix, not only are you a writer in your own mind, eyes and heart, but one who is recognised and appreciated by many... who are just an accumulation of very special "ones"! :)) Bless you and never lay down your pen! Kate xx

A writer you surely are and a very humble and compassionate one at that. Always stay true to yourself first, as you have. Don't worry about Oprah, she will catch on.

Fee,
I've also find it hard to view myself as a 'writer'. I guess because I am more of a poet. With your talent my friend, you are a WRITER. You have done yourself proud.
